Hurd powers O'Gorman to Girls City Golf title
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The City Girls Golf Tournament is played over the span of a month, with three rounds beings played across the Sioux Falls public golf courses. O'Gorman's Erin Hurd used a strong start to help lead to a crown. Hurd carded an impressive 74 at Prairie Green, just two shots over par in the first round of the City Golf Meet. 'It was a great round for me, and it was a lot of fun,' Hurd said. 'It was a confidence booster for our team, just being able to get up some strokes.' Hurd tied for first with fellow teammate Geneva Fredrickson in the second round of the tournament. That gave Erin a 12 shot lead, entering the third and final round, which was played at Willow Run, on a warm and windy day this past Tuesday. 'The wind wasn't even the worst part. During the front nine, there was just a ton of bugs that kept flying at us. That was probably the hardest part of the round,' Hurd said. 'Once that wind kicked in, it was pretty hard to figure out your distances.' The windy weather was also tough on the short game, adding some speed to the greens. 'They were pretty fast today. If you get above that hole, it's pretty bad once you get above it,' Hurd said. 'Thankfully, our coach brought us out yesterday and we went to the practice green. He worked with us on those high to low putts.' Hurd finished the round with an 80, the best in the field. That helped Erin finish 23-over par for the entire tournament, 13 shots ahead of the competition. 'It's super special. I'm super proud of how I did and how my team supported me,' Hurd said. 'It's definitely a highlight of my season is winning city.' Hurd's performance led to the individual crown, but it also helped O'Gorman claim a one-shot win over Lincoln for the team title, capping off an O'Gorman sweep of the City Meet. 'I'm just always so proud of how we play. We're a great team together. We work so hard everyday, going to practice,' Hurd said. 'No matter how the outcome comes out, I'm always proud of our team.' O'Gorman will be a part of the Metro Conference Meet on Thursday at Elmwood. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
